The buyer from Gimbel's in Pittsburg said that he sold the <br> | |||
American Greeting games (<u>DEADLOCK</u>, <u>UPON-MY-WORD</u>, <u>NIX</u>, etc.) <br> | |||
during X'Mas and they did fairly well. However he said <br> | |||
that they really don't know how to merchandize adult games. <br> | |||
He said that among the 3M games <u>FACTS IN FIVE</u> is the <br> | |||
best seller. <u>ACQUIRE</u> does well but is dropping slowly. <u>IMAGE</u> <br> | |||
did well, but new ones usually do. He thinks that 3M is losing <br> | |||
touch with the current trends. <br> | |||
<u>Carl Eisenberg</u> tells him that the 5 games (<u>WORDS FOR THE WISE</u>, <br> | |||
<u>CHINESE CHECK</u>, etc.) will sell for $2 and a set of all 5 for $7. <br> | |||
They are behind schedule but will definitely be coming out. <br> | |||
A company, "National Paragon" has taken over Reiss and Hoi <br> | |||
Polloi. Phil doesn't know what they do, but knows that they <br> | |||
are highly profitable. They will put a lot of money into the <br> | |||
companies and Hoi Polloi will be needing new products. <br> | |||
Phil is seeing Carl tonight about <u>AQUARIUS 2000</u> and will <br> | |||
talk to him about their needs. <br> | |||
<u>Herb Hochstetter</u> called Phil and said either that he has, or <br> | |||
will, set up a meeting with Post. Herb will be calling me. <br> | |||
I looked at the 1972 diary and saw that the three games they <br> | |||
liked of mine were <u>THE-ADD-A-LETTER-GAME</u>, <u>SUPER-TAC-TOE</u>, <br> | |||
and <u>THE GO-ROUND GAME</u>. I have the rules written for all 3, but <br> | |||
only the first has a tyoewritten copy. The second is <br> | |||
supposed to but I can't locate it. <br> | |||
Phil says that Joel (or rather Djoli) is going to be a pain. <br> | |||
He was interested, however, in my collecting game <br> | |||
(<u>WHAT'S IT WORTH TO YOU?</u>). <br> | |||
Called <u>Fred Feucht</u> to see if he had the typewritten rules for <br> | |||
<u>SUPER-TAC-TOE</u>. Supposed to call back but he didn't. | |||
In my talk with <u>Phil Orbanes</u> he said that he'd like me to <br> | |||
take a look at his rules for <u>INFINITY</u> with a view to making <br> | |||
